Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

Hitch hates Contaboss nowadays

Good move from Alberto to finish the season late and start the next season late with a good base form from the winter. Giro - Tour here He comes

he does not hate him. He's just gotten a lot more critical about him

nice bike Berto, looking forward to see you and Roman again in action


Its funny there will be freakin 2000 pages of this thread

is roman in the line up? I didn't see his name. Hmm.. that guy isn't out of the wood yet. Guarantee, UCI will appeal and CAS will overturn. That's just how it is.

so contador goes to Beijing? He'd better eat fish and lots of salad!!! (makes me nervous after Rogers case last year.

UCI/WADA have 22 days to appeal.

Saxo will take their own chef to China, but since when has Contador cared so much about being the #1 on UCI list? Never before iirc. Strange.

maybe because uci told tinkov it would be nice if the world tour standings would have importance. it's a win for uci anyway. for me too because i want to see moar moar alberto contador

Indeed. For the first time I will follow this race quite closely .

Meanwhile bringing a chef is good, but where will the food he/she cooks come from? Doesn't matter who cooks it if it has clen in it . I recommend tuna from a can!

Yeah, I'm 100% sure tuna from a can does not contain any banned substances in China...

It's simple. Just eat fresh fish, chicken, duck, dog, cat, or simply veggies and noodles. Don't eat beef or pork.

Another thing to tick off before he retires??

And if it fits in with what he's got planned re. lengthening the season - plus ****es off Vvde - it's all good…?

He was already #1 in 2009 so it is ticked off. IMO he just wants it on record he came back and he came back to #1 after 2013 despite a fractured tibia
.

Yes - I reckon you're right. Just emphasise the point that the boss is back in the office.

I wouldn't eat Any food grown in China. Mick ate beef and pork last year? I doubt it! Best to bring in your own canned food from elsewhere!

canned food

come on... they dont even test for clen at the tour of Beijing.. and if he tests positive.. nothing will happen. See Mick.

It would be definitive proof of his return to the top after his ban.

Ever been in China? Ain't no simple about it.

You can't import any processed food into China Afaik.

Wish he wasn't going to this race . Can't eat clean food there, can't bring in your own. I hope they know what they are doing because a second strike will end his career and totally tarnish his legacy.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Ever been in China? Ain't no simple about it.

Actually yes.

And it wasn't difficult at all.

I expected more honestly. :'(
To have any chance for Sunday, today was supposed to win. However, a placing in the top 5 is possible

Doesn't mean anything. It will be a different race at Lombardia.

You are right it will be different. It will favor Jrod and Valverde more than AC.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Was this guy going to beat Nibbles in the tour

Ya! Isn't it funny the way Nibali rode his recent one day race.
Also AC was the last rider to win a GT.

edit: sorry had to take your faces out.

Based on what? The many classics contador has raced?

It's way harder in lombardia and for contador way WAY more important
